About this home
Discover a rare opportunity to own nearly an acre of residentially-zoned land in the heart of Cave Creek—perfectly positioned at the northern base of Black Mountain and ready for your dream home, with water and power at the property line and a cleared building pad. Enjoy breathtaking views of Black Mountain to the south and sweeping panoramic views of Cave Creek and surrounding mountain ranges to the north, all surrounded by natural Sonoran Desert beauty and towering saguaros. Just steps from the Black Mountain hiking trail, within walking distance to Frontier Town, Buffalo Chip, The Grotto, and more local favorites, and an easy drive to golf courses, shopping, dining, and freeway access. A prime location to build your private desert retreat with the charm of Cave Creek at your doorstep. Buyer to independently verify all facts and material information, including but not limited to lot lines, zoning, utilities, easements, building requirements, and any other details pertinent to the purchase and intended use of the property.
Cave Creek Town Core, located between Carefree Highway and Spur Cross Road, is a historic and walkable Cave Creek neighborhood with a Western streetscape and desert foothill views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Cave Creek Road at School House Road, where saloons, galleries, patios, and live-music rooms line the sidewalks under hitching rails and shaded portals. Frontier Town and the Buffalo Chip Saloon & Steakhouse act as cultural anchors, with Cave Creek Museum adding local context. Low-slung adobe-style buildings and rustic storefronts sit against saguaro-dotted slopes. Weekends bring a steady hum of bikes, boots, and art walks along the main drag. Trailheads and washes frame the edges with open Sonoran terrain.

Exceptional Black Mountain View Lot with Permits & Utilities — Ready to Build! Perched on the north side of Black Mountain in the heart of Cave Creek, this premium homesite offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges — Four Peaks, Elephant Butte, Continental, and beyond. This is one of those rare parcels that truly captures the beauty of the desert while offering everything ready to go. Already equipped with active permits for a 3,700 sq ft custom home plus a 700 sq ft casita, this property gives you flexibility and a head start — build with the existing plans, or bring your own vision to life. Unlike many nearby lots, this one is off a paved road, has water already on the property and connected, and electrical is less than 300 feet away — making it one of the most turnkey opportunities in the area. Whether you're a builder looking for a "shovel ready" project, or a buyer dreaming of a desert retreat with sweeping views and modern comfort, this lot delivers the best of both worlds: Location, convenience, and breathtaking scenery.
